Hi folks,
In regard to machine speed, is buying THE fastest Tibook going to give me a noticeable performance improvement? I think that there is about a $400 difference between the fastest machine out there and the second fastest, and I was wanting to know if the extra money is well spent. Am I going to want to get a Gig of RAM or is less than this quite OK? I know RAM is quite cheap now, but I am wanting to more know if a lot of RAM is a big help or not. Thanks, charlie |

QUOTE (filarion @ Dec 24 2002, 23:55) in my case that's the sore point of someone who got the top of the line model of the previous generation (800 mhz) and sees the cool new stuff the new ones have. I don't want to read reviews and speed comparisons with the 1 ghz model, since I won't buy another Powerbook until they hit the second G5 model or something.  Hi filarion, Are you saying that you think the difference between 800 MHz and 1 GHz makes a difference in what you are doing? If so, I would love to know more about this. If you are not planning on buying again until machines run at 5GHs, are you figuring that this will take more than two or three years at the most? |
